From business perspective, it&rsquo;s the first day of the&nbsp;calendar year so everyone is back and probably from&nbsp;more than just a few days off, some even&nbsp;two weeks off. From&nbsp;the technical&nbsp;side, this is also the first day of the year that IT admins come back to work, doing the tasks they do to keep the&nbsp;systems working, usually catching up on a few days of missed maintenance tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Every year the SPAM problem gets worse. On January 2nd not only are you going to be fighting maintenance intervals that didn&rsquo;t take place but also people coming back from work and catching up&nbsp;to days of&nbsp;piled up emails, where catching up means sending out even more mail. Most&nbsp;email servers&nbsp;out there are overloaded with just the SPAM problem alone, compounding a&nbsp;few days&nbsp;of email correspondence on top of it will make today the least likely day for your email message to be delivered and read.<\/p>\n<p>So if you have a newsletter, a really important note, a critical deadline to meet&nbsp;or an important contact that you absolutely have to reach&hellip; email is not your friend on January 2nd.<\/p>\n<p><em>Of note, ExchangeDefender is currently performing at 43% capacity (10 AM EST, -5:00 GMT)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exchangedefender","category-hosted-services"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1382,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92\/revisions\/1382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exchangedefender.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
